Augrented Insights Report for 218 Avenue A

218 Avenue A is a 4-story, 14-unit residential building located in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Steven Croman. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years, with multiple active violations related to building safety inspections and persistent rodent activity.

Most notably, there are six active violations (dating from 2018-2024) regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections, and recent plumbing issues were reported in late 2024 concerning water supply problems that HPD inspectors were unable to access for inspection. The building has documented multiple instances of pest infestations, including rat and cockroach activity, particularly affecting apartment 1RN in 2023, though recent inspections in 2025 show some improvement in rodent compliance. The property has a history of sanitation and maintenance challenges, with numerous 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unsanitary conditions, garbage storage, and building maintenance.

In 2023-2024, there were multiple reports of water leaks, damp spots, mold, and pest issues that were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though most inspections found no violations issued. The building has also faced structural concerns in the past, as evidenced by multiple ECB violations in 2018 regarding rear yard fire escape obstructions and exterior wall maintenance. While recent bedbug reporting indicates no current infestations, and some improvements in rodent control have been noted through bait applications in early 2024, the frequency of historical violations and complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
